Description

本発明は、フレキシブルディスプレイ装置に関する。   The present invention relates to a flexible display device.

一般的に、フレキシブルディスプレイ装置は、ポリイミドのような可撓性基板にディスプレイ部を形成して、柔軟性を付加した装置であって、携帯時にその形態を変形させて、大きさを変化させる非常に便利な長所を有している。   In general, a flexible display device is a device in which a display portion is formed on a flexible substrate such as polyimide to add flexibility, and the size of the flexible display device is changed by changing its shape when carried.

ところで、これまでは、このようなディスプレイの変形を正確に制御できる手段がなかった。そのため、ユーザがディスプレイを大体のところで曲げたり開いたりするだけであって、携帯するために大きさを変化させる時にも、正確な形状に変形させることが容易ではなく、逆に画面を見るためにディスプレイを平らに開く時にも、正確なフラット形に変形させることが困難であった。   Until now, there has been no means for accurately controlling such deformation of the display. For this reason, the user simply bends or opens the display roughly, and when changing the size to carry it, it is not easy to transform it into an accurate shape. Even when the display is opened flat, it is difficult to deform it into an accurate flat shape.

したがって、このような不便を解消するためには、ディスプレイの変形状態を正確に制御できる新たな構造のフレキシブルディスプレイ装置が要求されている。   Therefore, in order to eliminate such inconvenience, a flexible display device having a new structure that can accurately control the deformation state of the display is required.

そこで、本発明は、上記問題に鑑みてなされたものであり、本発明の目的とするところは、ディスプレイの変形状態を正確に制御でき、ディスプレイを変形させるための駆動に必要な電力消耗も減らせるように改善されたフレキシブルディスプレイ装置を提供することである。   Therefore, the present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and an object of the present invention is to accurately control the deformation state of the display and reduce the power consumption required for driving to deform the display.

In addition, in this specification and drawing, about the component which has the substantially same function structure, duplication description is abbreviate | omitted by attaching | subjecting the same code | symbol.

図1は、本発明の一実施形態によるフレキシブルディスプレイ装置100を示した図面である。図1に示したように、本実施形態のフレキシブルディスプレイ装置100は、柔軟性のあるディスプレイ本体130と、このディスプレイ本体130の一面に付着された初期形状設定基板120と、その初期形状設定基板120の他面に付着されたアクチュエータ110と、を備えている。101は、接着層を表す。   FIG. 1 is a view illustrating a flexible display apparatus 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 1, the flexible display device 100 according to the present embodiment includes a flexible display main body 130, an initial shape setting substrate 120 attached to one surface of the display main body 130, and the initial shape setting substrate 120. And an actuator 110 attached to the other surface. 101 represents an adhesive layer.

ディスプレイ本体130は、柔軟な可撓性基板上に画像を具現するための薄膜トランジスタと、発光素子と、それらを覆って保護する封止層とが積層された構造体であるが、ここでは、これをディスプレイ本体130と簡略に称する。このディスプレイ本体130は、硬いガラス基板の代わりに、柔軟な可撓性基板が使用されるため、その柔軟性の許容範囲内で自由に曲げられる特性を有している。   The display main body 130 is a structure in which a thin film transistor for embodying an image on a flexible flexible substrate, a light emitting element, and a sealing layer that covers and protects the thin film transistor are stacked. Is simply referred to as a display main body 130. Since the display main body 130 uses a soft flexible substrate instead of a hard glass substrate, the display main body 130 has a characteristic of being freely bent within the allowable range of the flexibility.

初期形状設定基板120は、弾性係数が比較的低いマグネシウム、アルミニウム、鉛などの合金を鋳型で鋳造して形成したものであって、フレキシブルディスプレイ装置100の初期状態を、図2のような折り畳み状態になるように維持させる機能を有する。すなわち、初期形状設定基板120は、鋳造により、図2のようなU字形の折り畳み状態に作られ、この状態で逆方向に外力が加えられない限り、その状態をそのまま維持する。したがって、初期形状設定基板120と結合されたディスプレイ本体130も、非使用時には、折り畳み状態を維持している。   The initial shape setting substrate 120 is formed by casting an alloy such as magnesium, aluminum, lead or the like having a relatively low elastic coefficient with a mold, and the initial state of the flexible display device 100 is folded as shown in FIG. It has the function to maintain it. That is, the initial shape setting substrate 120 is made into a U-shaped folded state as shown in FIG. 2 by casting, and this state is maintained as it is unless an external force is applied in the opposite direction. Therefore, the display main body 130 combined with the initial shape setting substrate 120 also maintains the folded state when not in use.

アクチュエータ110は、初期形状設定基板120に接着層101を介して付着されている。アクチュエータ110は、図4Aに示したように、互いに対向する第1電極111と第2電極112との間に、電気活性高分子層113が介在した構造を有している。アクチュエータ110は、第1電極111と第2電極112との間に電圧が印加されることによって、電気活性高分子層113が伸張しながら、ベンディング力が作用する原理により駆動される。   The actuator 110 is attached to the initial shape setting substrate 120 via the adhesive layer 101. As shown in FIG. 4A, the actuator 110 has a structure in which an electroactive polymer layer 113 is interposed between a first electrode 111 and a second electrode 112 facing each other. The actuator 110 is driven on the principle that a bending force acts while the electroactive polymer layer 113 expands when a voltage is applied between the first electrode 111 and the second electrode 112.

図4B及び図4Cは、アクチュエータ110の駆動原理を概略的に説明するための図である。図4Bに示したように、電流が流れない時には、電気活性高分子層113が初期の厚さ及び長さを維持している。この状態で、前記第1電極111と第2電極112との間に電圧が印加されると、図4Cに示したように、電気活性高分子層113の長さが長くなる。この時、アクチュエータ110の一側面は、初期形状設定基板120に付着されて拘束されているので、反対側面の長さが相対的により長くなりながら、ベンディング力が作用する。逆に、第1電極111と第2電極112との間に印加された電圧が解除されると、電気活性高分子層113は、再び図4Bの状態に復元され、ベンディング力が作用する前の状態に戻る。本実施形態では、フレキシブルディスプレイ装置100は、初期形状設定基板120によって初期状態がU字形に折り畳まれた状態であるので、図4Bのように、アクチュエータ110に電圧が印加される前の状態でフレキシブルディスプレイ装置100は折り畳み状態になり、図4Cのように、アクチュエータ110に電圧が印加された状態でフレキシブルディスプレイ装置100はフラット状態になる。   4B and 4C are diagrams for schematically explaining the driving principle of the actuator 110. FIG. As shown in FIG. 4B, when no current flows, the electroactive polymer layer 113 maintains the initial thickness and length. In this state, when a voltage is applied between the first electrode 111 and the second electrode 112, the length of the electroactive polymer layer 113 increases as shown in FIG. 4C. At this time, since one side surface of the actuator 110 is attached to and restrained by the initial shape setting substrate 120, the bending force acts while the length of the opposite side surface becomes relatively longer. Conversely, when the voltage applied between the first electrode 111 and the second electrode 112 is released, the electroactive polymer layer 113 is restored to the state of FIG. 4B again, before the bending force acts. Return to state. In this embodiment, since the initial state of the flexible display device 100 is folded into a U shape by the initial shape setting substrate 120, the flexible display device 100 is flexible in a state before the voltage is applied to the actuator 110 as shown in FIG. 4B. The display device 100 is in a folded state, and the flexible display device 100 is in a flat state when a voltage is applied to the actuator 110 as shown in FIG. 4C.

図3は、このようなアクチュエータ110のベンディング力の作用による駆動状態を示した図である。フレキシブルディスプレイ装置100は、アクチュエータ110が駆動されると、初期形状設定基板120によってU字形に折り畳まれた状態から、ベンディング力が作用しながら、フラット状態に広がる。   FIG. 3 is a diagram showing a driving state of the actuator 110 by the action of the bending force. When the actuator 110 is driven, the flexible display device 100 expands from a state folded by the initial shape setting substrate 120 into a flat state while a bending force acts.

このような駆動原理によって、アクチュエータ110が駆動されると、このアクチュエータ110と結合されたディスプレイ本体130も付随して広がる。逆に、アクチュエータ110に印加される電圧が解除されると、ディスプレイ本体130は、初期形状設定基板120によって規定されている本来のU字形の折り畳み状態に戻る。   When the actuator 110 is driven according to such a driving principle, the display main body 130 coupled to the actuator 110 also expands. Conversely, when the voltage applied to the actuator 110 is released, the display main body 130 returns to the original U-shaped folded state defined by the initial shape setting board 120.

電気活性高分子層113としては、PVDF(Polyvinylidene Fluoride)、PDMS(Polydimethyl Siloxan)、PVFT(Polyvinylidene Fluoride−co−Trifluoroethylene)を使用することができる。前記第1電極111,第2電極112としては、柔軟性のあるITO(Indium Tin Oxide)を使用することができる。もちろん、電気活性高分子層113、前記第1電極111、第2電極112は、二つの電極の間に電圧が印加された時に、伸長しながらベンディングを誘導するものであれば、他の材料であってもよい。   As the electroactive polymer layer 113, PVDF (Polyvinylidene Fluoride), PDMS (Polydimethylsiloxane), PVFT (Polyvinylidene Fluoride-co-Trifluoroethylene) can be used. As the first electrode 111 and the second electrode 112, flexible ITO (Indium Tin Oxide) can be used. Of course, the electroactive polymer layer 113, the first electrode 111, and the second electrode 112 may be made of other materials as long as they induce bending while stretching when a voltage is applied between the two electrodes. There may be.

以上のように構成されるフレキシブルディスプレイ装置100は、次のように使用することができる。まず、フレキシブルディスプレイ装置100の非使用時には、図2に示したように、初期形状設定基板120によって折り畳み状態を維持する。この状態では、アクチュエータ110に電圧が印加されないので、電力が消耗されることもなく、この状態で、装置100を携帯または保管すれば良い。折り畳み状態では、フレキシブルディスプレイ装置100の長さが半分に減るため、携帯及び保管が非常に便利になる。そして、この状態では、上述したように、アクチュエータ110に電圧が印加されないため(図4B状態)、携帯及び保管中に電力が浪費される問題もなくなる。   The flexible display device 100 configured as described above can be used as follows. First, when the flexible display device 100 is not used, the folded state is maintained by the initial shape setting substrate 120 as shown in FIG. In this state, no voltage is applied to the actuator 110, so that power is not consumed, and the device 100 may be carried or stored in this state. In the folded state, the length of the flexible display device 100 is reduced by half, which makes it very convenient to carry and store. In this state, as described above, no voltage is applied to the actuator 110 (the state shown in FIG. 4B), so that there is no problem of wasting power during carrying and storage.

一方、フレキシブルディスプレイ装置100を使用する時には、アクチュエータ110の第1電極111及び第2電極112の間に電圧を印加する。これにより、電気活性高分子層113が伸張しながら(図4Cの状態)、図3のように、フレキシブルディスプレイ装置100が開き始め、最終的には、図1のようなフラット状態に変わる。したがって、この状態で、ディスプレイ本体130を駆動すれば、真直ぐに広がった画面を見ることができる。   On the other hand, when the flexible display device 100 is used, a voltage is applied between the first electrode 111 and the second electrode 112 of the actuator 110. As a result, while the electroactive polymer layer 113 is stretched (state of FIG. 4C), the flexible display device 100 starts to open as shown in FIG. 3, and finally changes to a flat state as shown in FIG. Therefore, if the display main body 130 is driven in this state, a straight screen can be seen.

次いで、フレキシブルディスプレイ装置100の使用を終了した時には、アクチュエータ110に印加された電圧が解除されるにつれて、フレキシブルディスプレイ装置100は、初期形状設定基板120によって規定されている折り畳み状態に戻る。   Next, when the use of the flexible display device 100 is finished, the flexible display device 100 returns to the folded state defined by the initial shape setting substrate 120 as the voltage applied to the actuator 110 is released.

したがって、アクチュエータ110の駆動によって、折り畳み状態及びフラット状態が制御されるので、携帯時及び保管時においてフレキシブルディスプレイ装置100を曲げた状態とする一方、使用時に真直ぐに広げて見る操作が、正確で簡便になる。したがって、本実施形態のフレキシブルディスプレイ装置100は、携帯時の利便性及び使用時の利便性がいずれも改善される。   Therefore, since the folded state and the flat state are controlled by the driving of the actuator 110, the flexible display device 100 is bent when being carried and stored, and the operation of spreading and looking straight at the time of use is accurate and simple. become. Therefore, the flexible display device 100 according to the present embodiment is improved in both convenience during use and convenience during use.

また、非使用状態である折り畳み状態では、アクチュエータ110により電力を消耗することなく、使用中にのみ電力が消耗されるので、電力が浪費されることもなくなる。   Further, in the folded state that is not in use, power is not consumed by the actuator 110 and power is consumed only during use, so that power is not wasted.

また、説明した実施形態では、アクチュエータ110の構造が第1電極111と第2電極112との間に電気活性高分子層113が介在した一つの単位ユニットで構成されていることを例示した。ただし、図5に示した変形例のように、複数の電極211,213,215,217の間にそれぞれ電気活性高分子層212,214,216が介在した多段構造、すなわち、一対の電極と電気活性高分子層とから成る単位ユニットを複数備えて多段に積層されたアクチュエータ210としてもよい。このように、アクチュエータ210が多段に構成されれば、ベンディング力が強くなる。   Further, in the described embodiment, the structure of the actuator 110 is exemplified by the single unit unit in which the electroactive polymer layer 113 is interposed between the first electrode 111 and the second electrode 112. However, as in the modification shown in FIG. 5, a multi-stage structure in which electroactive polymer layers 212, 214, and 216 are interposed between a plurality of electrodes 211, 213, 215, and 217, that is, a pair of electrodes and an electric The actuator 210 may include a plurality of unit units each including an active polymer layer and stacked in multiple stages. In this way, if the actuator 210 is configured in multiple stages, the bending force is increased.

また、説明した実施形態のフレキシブルディスプレイ装置100では、初期形状設定基板120の一面にディスプレイ本体130が付着され、他面にアクチュエータ110が付着された構造を例示した。ただし、図6に示した変形例のように、アクチュエータ320の一面にディスプレイ本体330が付着され、他面に初期形状設定基板310が付着されたフレキシブルディスプレイ装置300としてもよい。もちろん、この場合は、アクチュエータ320の両面が、ディスプレイ本体330及び初期形状設定基板310にそれぞれ結合されて拘束されているため、ベンディング力が弱くなるが、その両面に対する結合力に差を与えれば、適切なベンディング力を実現することができる。   In the flexible display device 100 according to the embodiment described above, the structure in which the display main body 130 is attached to one surface of the initial shape setting substrate 120 and the actuator 110 is attached to the other surface is illustrated. However, as in the modification shown in FIG. 6, a flexible display device 300 in which the display main body 330 is attached to one surface of the actuator 320 and the initial shape setting substrate 310 is attached to the other surface may be used. Of course, in this case, since both surfaces of the actuator 320 are coupled and restrained by the display main body 330 and the initial shape setting substrate 310, the bending force is weakened. Appropriate bending power can be realized.

以上説明したフレキシブルディスプレイ装置100,300は、携帯時に、本体を電力消耗のない折り畳み状態で保管し、使用時にのみアクチュエータを駆動して、真直ぐに広げて見ることができる。したがって、電力消耗を最小化しながら、携帯時の利便性及び使用時の利便性をいずれも改善することができる。   The flexible display devices 100 and 300 described above can be viewed in a straight line when the main body is stored in a folded state with no power consumption and the actuator is driven only when in use. Therefore, it is possible to improve both the convenience during carrying and the convenience during use while minimizing power consumption.

以上、添付図面を参照しながら本発明の好適な実施形態について詳細に説明したが、本発明はかかる例に限定されない。本発明の属する技術の分野における通常の知識を有する者であれば、特許請求の範囲に記載された技術的思想の範疇内において、各種の変更例または修正例に想到し得ることは明らかであり、これらについても、当然に本発明の技術的範囲に属するものと了解される。   The preferred embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings, but the present invention is not limited to such examples.
